Lyrics
[Verse 1] Phone face down Face up now Screen lights up I know that sound Your name there Like a flare in dark Four words drag On my tired heart "I miss you" Blue text Sharp knife Thought I blocked That whole past life [Chorus] Why do you wait till 2 a.m. to miss me? When you know I'm finally sleeping through the night You say you changed and suddenly you get me But where were you when I was learning how to be alright? You only miss me When you know I might reply [Verse 2] You type fast Then you take it back Three dots blink Like a panic attack You say "I'm sorry" Say you "think of us" Say you "never meant To lose my trust" You ask "Are you awake?" Like you don't know You only ever called When you had nowhere else to go [Chorus] Why do you wait till 2 a.m. to miss me? When you know I'm almost over what we were You say you're sober now and finally can see me But every word just makes the water start to stir You only miss me When you're lonely Never sure [Bridge] I wrote your number on a note Then watched it fade in the wash I packed your sweater in a box Left it out by the trash I almost answer just to say I'm not the same as before (as before) But if I crack this door tonight You’ll kick it wide once more (once more) [Chorus] Why do you wait till 2 a.m. to miss me? When you know my guard is softer in the dark You say "forever " but your timing always tricks me You only come around to chase a fading spark So I'ma let that 2 a.m. just buzz out Till your name goes back to black [Outro] Phone face down Face stays dry You can miss me On your own this time
